A recent bandit attack in Mera Community in the Augie Local Government Area has claimed 15 lives. The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Kebbi State Chapter has condenmed and described the incident as both shocking and unfortunate.
On behalf of the Working Committee, Party Elders, and the State Working Committee, State Chairman Alhaji Usman Bello Suru sent sincere condolences to the State Government, Argungu Emirate Council, and Augie Local Government Council.
In a related message, the PDP advised the Kebbi State Government to halt the use of public resources on what it described as “frivolous foreign trips” that have yielded little benefit for the state.
He mentioned that the state should invest its resources in creating an environment that attracts sustainable investments within Kebbi State instead of seeking financial support from countries facing their own economic challenges.
The party recommended allocating funds for the establishment and outfitting of international border markets, free trade zones, and the revitalisation of industries at Bulasa Industrial Layout.
With emphasis on the need for meaningful and effective local investment, the PDP advised the state government to focus on initiatives that would foster long-term economic growth, stability, and employment opportunities for the people of Kebbi.
